What's the best SEO book to study?
-
If you only had 3 SEO books to read which ones would they be?
-
Yes, but a lot of the topics discussed are still key concepts. The fundamentals of SEO haven't really changed, just the means of achieving optimization has. On Page SEO is still extremely important along with the creation of quality content, and quality links. Even though the book is dated, you can still learn a lot from it.
The industry is also constantly changing, which is why, in my second response, I recommended to subscribe to some of the prominent SEO Blogs' RSS Feeds.
-
I heard about the Art of SEO but is it outdated?
-
On a second thought, there are other venues you may want to look into as well. I love SEOmoz, it is one of my favorite websites of all time (user friendliness) and has one of the most active online communities i've ever seen. There are however, other websites that provide great information on SEO, I personally subscribe to 20-30 feeds on web design and SEO that gives me constant fresh content to look through and learn more SEO. The YouMoz Blog, and the SEOmoz blog are two of my favorite subscriptions, but there are at least another half dozen solid blogs you could use.

I have two favorites
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Secrets- Danny Dover, he was the lead SEO when SeoMoz still did consulting
The Art of SEO: Mastering Search Engine Optimization (Theory in Practice) - This is an older book, but a classic. Rand Fishkin, actually contributed to this one.

I need a new book
I need some sort of awesome marketing related book. It could be SEO/SEM related, it'd be nice if it focused on content creation, or it could just be broad and business-y. Wil Reynolds got me thinking I'm not reading enough, and I wasn't lucky enough to grab one of his books off him at MozCon. So now I need some suggestions. It's just too overwhelming searching through these broad keywords for the right book. So if anyone knows of any that might fit, let me know! Thanks Moz Community. You guys rock.

Does Server Speed Effect SEO Rankings?
I was told by a website developer that Google ranks sites higher if they are hosted on faster servers. Is this true? For example my site is currently limited because it is a Quick Shopping Cart site hosted by Godaddy. He said that if I hosted my research chemical site with a different company with faster servers I could get better ranking immediately. I linked to my site. I think it loads ok. However Godaddy probably isn't the fastest service around.

Schema, RDFa or microformats? Which is best for long-term success in a competitive market vertical?
I've read statements compelling one to think about Schema as a "sports car" and RDFa (and microformats) as a diesel truck... both having merit depending on what you want to do. Although Schema was just announced and seems to have broad support - is it compatible with RDFa 1.1 syntax? I've utilized microformats on a few site with great success but embarking on a very large project and feel structured markeup would give an edge over the competition. Would love to have a discussion with folks on this subject. Thanks!
